Sony updates its media apps

Sony is rolling out updates for few of its media apps in order to provide a “more converged and full Sony entertainment experience.” The main idea was to integrate Sony’s cloud music, video and photo services into Album, Movies, and “WALKMAN” app. So here’s what’s changed:

WALKMAN

Sony’s Music Unlimited integration – with universal search across local and cloud content.

New social features that makes it easy to discover, play and share tunes on your social channels

Gapless, smooth playback

Album

PlayMemories Online integration – with the ability to upload to, access, and browse your PlayMemories library in the cloud

Recall Playback – which intelligently displays and reminds you of memories, occasions and events

Favorites – let’s you *star* your best snaps, for easy viewing later

Movies

Seamless access to Sony’s Video Unlimited

A revamped UI with a banner video function for trailers and recently played videos

The update will be available for select smartphones, including the Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR, Xperia Tablet Z and Xperia Z Ultra. If you own one of this devices, you’ll be prompted to update any day now.
